{"_id":"668d9fdf0b76658b4c2327b0","title":"Can Muslim women travel without a mahram?","question":"Is it permissible for a female to travel without a mahram?","answer":"According to the general agreement among scholars, it is not permissible for a woman to travel without a mahram. However, there are differences among scholars on certain details. For example, Hanafis believe that the distance should be at least 48 miles, whereas Shafis hold that the distance doesn't matter as long as she is traveling outside of her town/city. Some scholars make exceptions for wajib travel such as Hajj, where a woman may travel with a group of women. The Malikis permit travel without a mahram if there is a legitimate need, the journey is safe, and the travel time does not exceed 24 hours. Due to the complexity of the issue, it is recommended to seek a fatwa specific to your situation, with all relevant details provided.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fdf0b76658b4c2327ae","tag":"Women: Travel","count":7}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:38:55.942Z"}
